Sommario/riassunto |
|
Investigates how we move beyond the conscious and physical world using our senses, into other realities of the spiritual and the divine. This title looks at the techniques used to alter consciousness practiced by shamans, monks, and other religious specialists. These include the use of drugs, as well as drumming, chanting and meditation. |
